Small Workplace Health
As part of a drive to improve Corporate Health
Standards in Wales, the Department of Public Health has developed a
new Corporate Standard in Small Workplace Health. The Rhyl
City Strategy Community Interest Company has been working towards
this new Standard, and is due to pick up its bronze award at a
ceremony in Cardiff on 16th March 2009. In
working towards the award, the
Company has developed its health and safety
policies and procedures, with a focus on promoting the health
benefits that can be gained through physical activity. The
project team completed the Race for Life in Rhyl in June 2008, as
well as making an attempt up Snowdon in August (before poor weather
conditions and childcare responsibilities forced a retreat).
The team are now entering the South West Rhyl Communities First
five-mile fun run at the end of April 2009. For more
